Seafoam treatment.

Has any one used seafoam as an engine treatment insted of the atf or water injection method to decarbon the engine. If so is it ok to just let one of the vacum lines to pull it in or should I maybe get it into the sparklug holes some how? Thanks in advance for you help.

OK, folks, I know the drill for 1stgen rexes and the 12A, but his profile shows 1988 RX-7 GTU, so I defer to the 2ndgen crowd's common wisdom on this subject.

The only danger with these "tricks" is dislodging some carbon that will actually do some damage.

I've never bothered with any of this voodoo.

That makes sense I guess. Maybe I will wait until I get my t2 engine and then try it on the n/a before I do the swap. It might save me some time on the decarb of the comonents when I rebuild my n/a. Maybe..... If anyone has done this treatment please post the out come. Thanks for your input
